Each conductor is made up with a special selection of stranding sizes. 2 for the positive and 2 for the negative. this yields a 8awg total size per signal polarity All conductor are wrapped in Teflon tape which is the next best dielectric after Air. Teflon tape is a way to reduce the overall thickness of the casing to reduce the dielectric value. The 4 conductors are then twisted together and Teflon taped as well.

Black Dragon IEM Cable V2

Welcome to the next evolution in Dragon IEM cables. The Black Dragon IEM V2 Cable is a total redesign of our Black Dragon IEM V1 cable. We teamed up with JH Audio, one of the most admired and sought-after IEM manufacturers in the world, on the design of this cable. The Black Dragon IEM V2 cable features a stranded, silver-plated copper design that marries the sonic strengths of our Silver Dragon IEM cables and our copper-based Bronze Dragon IEM cables. What this means for you is great detail and resolution from the silver plus the full sound and enhanced bottom end from the copper. Compared to the V1 version, we find the midrange on the Black Dragon IEM V2 cable to be warmer without sounding too laid back, while maintaining the full sound spectrum and dimension. Most importantly, the powerful bottom end of the Black Dragon IEM V1 has been improved upon.

This new stranded, silver-plated copper design is different from the silver-plated tinsel wire used in the JH Audio stock JH cables. The purity and density of our conductors are far superior and much more expensive to design, engineer, and produce. You will be amazed at the sound quality improvements over JH Audio and other brands' stock cables. Level up to a Black Dragon IEM V2 Cable and take your IEMs to the next level! Compatible with all JH Audio 2-pin and 4-pin IEMs and many other brands. It's a great option for those wanting to add more musicality and warmth into your IEM to help balance out higher frequencies and tightening up the bottom end. 

Silver Dragon Network Cable

Introducing the Silver Dragon Network cable, when Audio and Video data transmission cannot be compromised. Moon Audio saw a need for higher quality data transfer cables over the $10 Ethernet cables being sold in your local computer shop. To meet this demand, Moon Audio created the Silver Dragon Network cable which is an Ethernet data cable made of the highest quality parts as more products will require this data transfer method for optimal signal transfer.

High speed, low latency, and low jitter perfect bit rate communication between these audio components can be maximized by using solid core silver conductors. The Silver Dragon Ethernet cable utilizes 8 solid core 99.999% pure silver 26AWG Teflon insulated conductors. Cable shielding is required to improve the cable's performance in high electromagnetic environments. The braided design of the cable's conductors along with the 100% braided shield protects and wards off outside interference from its surroundings. The cable is terminated with the best available RJ45 connectors made, the Telegartner MFP8 T568B RJ-45 connector. They are precision-made ultra-high bandwidth shielded connectors. The Silver Dragon Network Cable provides top performance for your digital transfers and minimizes noise and packet loss like no other ethernet cable on the market.
